Topic: death to the weird | |
---|---|
i found myself wishing the other day that i was in the sixties. what happened to the ambiance of it all and the attitude of the time when ppl were nice and openly friendly and the music. some of the greatest minds came from the sixties.. hunter thompson, ken kesey who started the whole sixties culture with his acid tests, timothy leary selling mind expansion for five bucks a hit.. allen ginsberg, owlester crowley just to name a few. and the music too many to mention but two names that come to mind are the beatles and the greatful dead. which kesey also helped start. anyway ppl today are so much more meaner and closed minded then they were back then. today we have no culture it's all about me me me anyway ill shut up just wondered if anyone else felt the same.

I miss the atmosphere of those days...the mood wasn't so dark...there was hope. Hell, we stopped a war! We felt we could make a difference then. Music wasn't as mean-spirited as some that is popular today. Although I've got to say...there is a lot of great music that has been made since. People weren't so focused on 'Me'...there was more thought to 'We'. I miss those things. I also wonder what happened to the knowledge we had about recreational drugs...how did we miss passing that on to those younger? Most of us knew that putting anything into our veins was not a good idea...where did that message get lost? Maybe I'm just remembering things through a filter of sweet nostalgia.

The sixties were nicer and more friendly? Really? Ask a black person about it, Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964 prior to that segregation was legal. In the 60's they were still being hosed down and chased by dogs.
